Terry T Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 The link won't work for me but if this is about the B Model at the Pentagon it's a GREAT story!

tjc transport Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 i remember that story. it was kept in service as a backup unit only because it was the only rig that would fit into the building.

Not true....The rig was a front line, in-service piece in the town of Woodsboro, Maryland about 60 miles to the north of the Pentagon. Folklore has it that an Arlington County career firefighter who lived in Woodsboro and knew about the small B-Model and suspected it could navigate the tunnels, and special called for them to respond. 1 Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/68940-little-fire-truck-that-could/#findComment-485410 Share on other sites More sharing options...

70mackMB Posted December 19, 2021 Author Share Posted December 19, 2021 Sorry about the link. It was a picture and story of a, you guessed it, an MB. Chicago F.D. ladder truck with a tiller at the International Harvester Company fire. Hippy......

Terry T Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Okay... Now I'm curious about the IHC fire and the MB ladder! Tell us more or work on finding a way to share the link. Mack & Fire friends want to know especially with IHC's history in my home town of Ft Wayne, IN.
